What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picture?

 

Yeah, they also said they had to program my key fob. I just said nope. I saw them on sale from 119 to 140 for the lock. I'll do it myself. I don't have heat in my garage, that's the only reason why I checked.

 

Actually, yes I did.

 

Program the key fob for what???? To opens the neighbors tailgate? I would have called "BS" out loud. As far as I know the tailgate lock wire harness is PnP directly into the passenger side kick panel that controls the lock in the passenger door.

 

Mmmmmm. Like I said I’ve got the pro grill on there now. But let me look.

 

I would like it if the blue was a little darker.

 

Took it on a very important mission. Transporting the kegerator to new house. It's been getting a lot of use as a truck

 

go to a two battery system and mount that bad boy to a rack or something. what could go wrong

 

A Bills fan may say this belongs in the ASSHOLE PARKING thread...

 

You can do this yourself for under $100…. Did this one for under 60….

$56 Power Tailgate Lock Replacement for Tundra Tacoma 2007-2019

The Pn'L is PnP and links in right in the driver's side kick panel into the remote door locks.

 

For those talking about your front emblems.. wrapping it with vinyl works well. I get mine from a @c_mento_taco_808 on instagram (i've done it 3 times now lol).. he colour matches and can do custom designs or the basic toyota symbol. You could also probably just spray tint it with VHT or something.

 

The only way I'll tint is with film.

 

That is important cargo!

 

A man has priorities and yours seem to be in the right place.

 

Found some on ebay. Hope they work well. Ill let you guys know

Good call. They quoted me "around $580, maybe $600 depending on a couple things" (huh?) when I went in with mine. Efffff that. In talking to another taco owner about it, they said that they often use the same parts we'd order ourselves (as opposed to OEM) on things like tailgate remote locks, remote starters, etc. Sometimes it's due to part availability, but often times it's due to the plug n play of it all. Less time on this easy fix means more money/time on more customers. And people wonder why we don't trust dealerships ...

 

I think I parked next to a Bills fan’s barf

 

Wait... that's a real thread? (searching....) Mother of God. Wish I had known about this the other night when I backed into a parking spot perfectly, across from a white Taco parked like an asshole.

 

Doesn’t it have spade connectors and a splice to factory wires? At least that’s what I remember was required when I bought one. That’s not exactly pnp. Oem has stock connectors eliminating splices, includes gromment and plastic pass through, harness also is foil wrapped around the exhaust section and with a mix of regular and metal ties.

then you add price- for only an additional 20-30 bucks and you get all that. Just hard for me to see a true benefit to pop n lock over oem. I sold the pop before installing
